Teaching Team Sports: A Coeducational Approach

Teaching Team Sports isn't just another sport skills book. It's a how-to manual that shows teachers how to analyze and present sport skills by breaking them down into fundamental body movements. Once students master the fundamental movement skills--such as running, jumping, and throwing--they can use those skills to perform all sports. This text also presents complete information on how to effectively teach seven team sports in coeducational settings. Teaching Team Sports helps methods class instructors * organize course material, * develop a curriculum, * plan teaching sequences, and * learn to analyze sport skills. Teaching Team Sports is also a valuable reference for secondary physical educators in middle and high school settings and for recreation leaders. It will help them * understand basic movement patterns, * organize groups into learning units, * include all students or group members in the learning experience, * avoid discipline problems caused by disorganized practice time, * develop teaching strategies to maximize participation, and * meet the special demands of teaching coeducational classes. The text is divided into two parts. The first part explains coed sports along with the principles of movement and observation to help teachers more skillfully recognize movement variations and give positive feedback to improve their player's movement patterns. You'll also learn about fundamental movement skills and how some are related to others. Similarities and differences between the movement skills are outlined so teachers can plan effective learning experiences. Part Two addresses specific sports: basketball, field hockey, flag/touch football, soccer, softball, speedball, and volleyball. Each chapter contains * a brief history of the sport, * purpose and values of the sport, * a description and basic rules, * suggestions for playing the sport coeducationally, * a teaching progression, * a description of techniques, * practice activities, * offensive and defensive strategies, * common errors and corrections, * terminology, and * selected readings. You'll find 185 drawings showing correct performance techniques and team formations as well as error and correction charts for the sports' skills. You'll also find numerous coeducational drills to help you practice each skill and plan more effective classes. Use them daily in your practice sessions to develop progressive skill patterns and build team effort. No one knows the importance of team sports better than Joan Philipp (veteran schoolteacher) and Jerry Wilkerson (specialist on sport technique and fundamental movement). Their combined years of experience and knowledge make Teaching Team Sports the most comprehensive text available for teaching coed classes. Whether you're teaching beginning or intermediate skills or coaching young players, you need Teaching Team Sports--a fresh approach for today's physical education classes.ASIN: 0873222598VSKU: RDV.0873222598.GCondition: GoodAuthor/Artist:Philipp, Joan A.|Wilkerson, Jerry D.Binding: Paperback
